How Travis Kelce's team is helping him build wealth off the field
Today's athletes are thinking bigger than just the game—more are shifting their focus to building wealth off the field and court. On a recent episode of Opening Bid, Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi spoke with the team behind Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, A&A Management co-founders Andre and Aaron Eanes. The brothers have built a thriving full-service management company that helps clients with their finances and fame as athletes. "Athletes seeing other athletes have success, whether it's the Magic Johnson's, LeBron James, you name it, if they've created an impact, they're starting to say, 'okay, how did they do that?'" Aaron explained. Andre expanded upon his brother's thoughts, sharing how they actually help their clients. "The big key for me is I kind of sit in the middle and help them navigate it the right way versus... taking the advice of an adviser that may not necessarily know the day-to-day, the marketing deals that they're bringing in, the business deals that they're doing outside of playing their sport.
